feting in co-operation, on the hank of the river, 'shortly after day kcht commenced a heavy cannonade on the enemy's centre, and continued nearly two hours to attract hie chief attention to that point. On reaching the Nawine river, at the village of Zeonke, the force was divided into two columns, the right column, under the command of Brigadier-General Cotton, continuing to advance along the left bank of the river, while with the other column I crossed at the ford of Zeouke,, and advanced upon Simbike and Losabek, in a direction nearly parallel with the Brigadier-Gene ral's division. We had to contend with every disadvantage of * difficult and enclosed country, nor did our information upon the position oc cupied by the enemy enable me to make any previous fixed ara raugernent for intercepting the retreat of an enemy to whom every foot-path in the jungle was familiar, and whose irregular flight would, I was aware, be made by every pnth that pro ' wi sed safety at the moment. My object, however, was, that whichever column should have the good fortune to fall in with the enemy first, should attack hint vigorously in front, while the other should endeavour to occupy such positions as would enable it to cut in upon him, when driven from his defences.-- 1 The ro u t e f ollowed by Brigadier-General Cotton ' brought ' hilts in front of the stockaded position at Simbike, which he at once assaulted; and when his fire first opened, the co lumn ander my own direction was about a mile and a half dis tant to his left and rear. I, in consequence, detached Bri g, *diet Elrington to g uar d th e f or t at Zeouke, and the main road it ading to Neoun-benzick, and the position of the Kee-Woong hee, while with the rest of the column I pushed on towards Sagee, in the hope of falling in with the enemy retiring upon Watty goon. Brigadier -General Cotton and his gallant division did not allow me time for completing this movement. In less than ten minutes every stockade was carried, the enemy completely to uted, and I had only an opportunity of cannonading hie panic !truck masses as they rushed fast through the openings of the Jungle in my front. The attack upon Simbike was most handsomely led by Lieu tenant-Colonel Godwin, of his Majesty's 41st Regiment, with the advanced guard of the right column, consisting of the light companies of his Majesty's Royal 41st and 89th Regiments, and the li g h t companies Of the 18th and 28th Regiments, of Madras Native Infantry, and his Majesty's 41st Regiment un der Major Chambers, stormed at another point, with the usual intrepedity of that gallant corps. The enemy left 300 dead upo n the ground, with the whole of his commissariat and other Stotts, guns, from 450 to 500 muskets, and upwards of 100 Cassay horses. The body of the old Commander absM Nemiow, 15 yearn of age, was also found among the dead. The enemy's left corps thus disposed of, and finding, from the Latina:my of all the prisoners, that hlecaday had been fixed upon as the point upon which to re-unite in the event of any disaster, I It once determined upon marching back to Zeouke, for the pur -1;"e of attacking the centre, under the Kee-Woongbee, on the "'awing morning. At six in the evening the whole force was a gain assembled at Zeonke, where it bivouacked for the eight, after a harassing march of about 29 miles, which the troops un dcrweut with the greatest cheerfulness and spirit. At day-light in the morning of the 2d, we were again in mo ,. ,"a. It w as m y i n t en ti o n t o h ave c u t i n u p on th e r i ver so as to ' i vide the Kee-Woonghee's force . but the impassable nature of the int erven i ng country prevented my reaching Pagaon, the point I had selected for breaking through his line, and the only road that could be discovered led to the front of the fortified ridge of :'ltPadee, already alluded to, which, from its inaccessibility on three sides could only be attacked by a limited number of men in 1. ' 144. Early in the morning I detached Brigadier-General Cot -14'4 division with orders to endeavour to push round to the right, and gain th e e n emy ' s fl an k by every path that could be discovered, but after great exertions, the effort was abandoned as wholly im pacticable. O ur artillery being placed in position, opened with mow ' fr ee; while his Excellency Commodore Sir James Brisbane ed forw ar d an d cannonna d e d t h e h e i g h ts f rom t h e r i ver. I , at : th e same tim e , directed Brigadier Elrington to Ell in through the J'agle to the right, where the Brigadier informs me the enemy ° PPosed hint with gallantry and resolution, defending every tree and breast -work with determined obstinacy. To the Brigadier's left directed six companies of his Majesty's 87th Regiment, under 11aiIe Gully, to advance and drive in the enemy's post to the bot wat, of the rid ge . Thi s serv i ce was per f orme d w i t h touch spirit, lad the enemy was d r i ven f rom a ll hi s d e f ences i n t h e va ll ey , re eatiag— to hispiincipal works on the hills. The appearance of those * arks was sufficiently formidable, and the hills, I have already rationed, could only be ascended by narrow road, commanded Y artillery and numerous stockades and breast-works filled with r en s a PParently all armed with muskets. As soon as the artil- L et ? Ind rockets, under Captaine Lumedaine and Graham, directed °.7 Lieut.-Colonel Hopkinson, had made an impression upon the net nY's worke, and 'silenced several of his guns, I. ordered the troop" to advance Co the assault. The Ist Bengal Brigade, Clain cciunnanded hy - Lieut.-Colonel Sale, and consisting of his Majes- Ws 13th and Stlth regiments, under Majors Thornhill and Frith, was directetl to advance by the breach, and storm the heights'in ( rent, anti the six companies of his Majesty's 87th Regiment ad tnced through the jungle to the right, and drove every thing be. foil them on that side. Nothing could surpass the steadiness and resolste courage displayed in this attack. Scarcely a shot was 144 in seturn to the enemy's continued volliee. Ilia Majesty's Stith Regestent, which led, first entered the enemy's entrench- Ment s on the heights, driving him from hill to hill, over preci- Picea which could only be ascended by a narrow . stair, until the whole of the position, formidablenearly three miles in extent, was in oar p osseas i ou. During the attack, his Excellency Commodore Sir James Bris bane, afforded me the most able co-operation, and I do myself the honour t o enclose hie Excellency's report of the good conduct of the officers and men cif the Honourable Company's Service serv 41g on board th e fl o till a , an d I muc h regre t t o o b serve the na me of Capt. Dawson, of his Majesty's ship Arachne, who was con y forward in the attack, among the list of killed. Lieutenants Underwood, commanding engineer, and Abbot, of t he Bengal Engineers, who had closely reconnoitred the enemy's Position, both volunteered to lead the columns, and were, I am sorry to say, both wounded on that service. ~ , ,I ha ve a l so to regret the loss of many promising brave young t 2 it teers and b rave so ldi ers ; but I am happy to observe that our toss considering the extent and strength of the enemy's positions, tod great numerical superiority, has not been great ; and I owe it th e t roops t o say, that the impression of their own steadiness and intrepidity upon the minds of the enemy, could alone have se cured to them the brilliant successes of the Ist and 2d, with so few casualties as will be found in the returns I have the honour herewith to transmit. oThe d e fe a t o f t h e enemy ' s army on the east bank of the Irra- Ilt idY has been most 'Compl ete .

Company. It is ex tremelygratifying to observe, that on this, as on other recent occa sions, they have uniformly vied with the light division (composed of the boats of the squadron) in zeal, gallantry, and exertion. In deed, since my arrival at the Head-quarters, I have derived no •mall satisfaction at the promptitude, good order, and regularity, which have been conspicuous in the details of the Flotilla. One common feeling animates the whole of this force, which has pro duced the happiest results. I regret to. announce to you, amidst the decided advantage of the acquisition of an important post, the death of Captain Dawson, of the .Arachne. In him the service has lost a gallant and highly meritorious officer, whose recent promotion to the rank of commander is a proof of the opinion I entertained of his pro fessional character.-1 have the honour to be, Sir, &c.

Sir,-!0 my dispatch of yesterday I mentioned my intention of attacking the enemy's right wing, under Sudda Woon, posted on the west batik of the Irrawaddy. Having concerted measures with his Excellency Commodore Sir James Brisbane, I directed Brigadier-General Cotton to cross the river in the course of lust night with the division under his command, and, if possible, to land above the position occupied by the enemy. This the Brigadier-General effected, and I had the pleasure, early this morning of seeing my orders carried into the fullest ef fect, as detailed in the leter herewith enclosed.—l have, &c. (Signed) ARCH. CAMPBELL, Major-Gen. Head-quarters, Camp on the Heighta of Napadea, December 4, 1825. TO MAJOR-GENERAL SM A. CAMPBELL, E. C. B. COMMANDER OF THE FORCES. Sir,—You' did me the honour of placing a proportion of the division under my command this morning, with orders to attack and dislodge the right wing of the enemy's army, situate in a se ries of stockades on the right bank of the river. The details were are as follows :-2.50 Royal Engineers; 270 His Majesty's 41st Regiment ; 260 ditto 89th ditto ; Light Com pany 28th Madras Native Infantry ; and 100 pioneers. This operation was performed in conjunction with the navy and flotilla, and, I am happy to add, was attended with the most complete success. The enemy retired from their stockades on the river, from the severe fire from four howitzers, and some rockets, ably directed by Lieutenants Paton and Seton, of the Bengal Artillery ; but on taking possession of them, it was discovered they had a stockaded work about half a mile in the interior, completely manned and occupied by guns ; Brigadier Armstrong, Colonel Brodie, and Colonel Godwin, immediately moved upon its centre and right, and I took the Royals to the left, and the work was carried instantly, the enemy leaving 800 dead on the field, and dispersing in every direction ; I have sent in several pioneers, and from 300 to 350 muskets were broken by my men having been abandoned by the enemy. I have set fire to the whole of their defences, and have only to add my warmest acknowledgments to Brigadier Arm strong, who commanded the advance ; to Colonel Brodie, who had charge of the light companies ; and Colonel Godwin, who commanded the reserve, and to every officer and man who was engaged. The Adjutant-General's and Quartermaster-General's Staff, under Captains Hitchens and Steele, and my own personal Staff, Captain Wainwright, 47th Regiment, and Lieutenant Wilson, 13th Light Infantry, I venture to bring to your notice for their zeal on this and every othes occasion. The artillery taken con sisted of one 18-pounder carronade, and five others, from four to six-pounders, with a large quantity of jinjale. The operations of this day naturally connecting me with his Majesty's Navy and the Flotilla, I hope it will not be construed into presumption, my venturing to bring to your Excellency's notice the most cordial co-operation and valuable assistance I de rived from his Excellency Commodore Sir James Brisbane, who directed personally the whole of the boats, who cannonaded and cleared the advance of the troops from their disembarking above their position, to their entering the enemy's works. lam happy to say - this service was performed with the trilling loss of one man killed and Cur wounded.--I have, Ice.

It is ex tremely strong both by nature and art, and is situated on the left bank of the river, a few miles in advance of 'Panne. lam happy to say that the result of these arrangements was decidedly favour able; the enemy's left column, consisting of about fourteen thou sand men, being completely overthrown, their ordnance and the whole of their Commissariat captured, and a heavy loss of men. The next day (yesterday) the Major-General determined on fol lowing up the blow by an attack upon Pagoda Point, the object of the former diversion; the flotilla coverin g the advance of the army along the shore. After a cannonading of several hours, the troops rushed forward to the assault--overcame the natural ob stacles which presented themselves--end carried the position in the most gallant style. The &till; at the same time pushed on up the river, and captured the whole of the enemy's boats (amounting to about three hundred) together with several guns, four hundred muskets, and a large quantity of stores. I have much satisfaction in stating that the whole of the offi cers and men employed in the flotilla,conducted themselves through out this service . in a manner that reflects the highest credit on each individual, composed as this force is of various establishments. The officers of the Honourable Company's Marine vied with those of the Royal Navy in gallantry and exertion. Captain Chaffs, of the Alligator, who commanded the light division, displayed the same zeal, judgment, and intrepedity which have characterized his conduct since the operations in this quarter began. I have, however, the painful duty of announcing the death of Captain John F. Dawson, of the Arachne, whose high professional character had induced me so recently to promote him to the rank of Com mander. The gallantry of this much lamented officer was con spicuous on all occasions, inviting, by his example, the exer tions of all under his direction ; he fell just as success had crown ed our efforts: I cannot close this letter without expressing my admiration of the steadiness; good order, and discipline of the troops in advan cing along a line of march, intersected with thick jungle, and a succession of intrenchments, until the storming took place. The two arms of his Majesty's service are in full and hearty co-opera tion for the objects of the present expedition ; and every success may be hoped for from the perseveranCe and resolution of Sir Ar chibald Campbell, the distinguished Commander of the Forces. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) JAMES BRISBANE, Ccirnmodore. S DAY AT ONE O ' CLOCK. South Sea Stock — Old Annuities New Ditto Ev.liillslooo/.2d.11 10 12 pm. Diva 5001. 2tl. ll 12 pm.

The Gazette of last night contains a letter from Commodore Sir JAMES BRISBANE, C. 8., Command ing his Majesty's Ships in the East Indies, to J. W. Esq., dated on board the Diana steam vessel, above Prome, on the Irawaddy, on the 3d December last, reporting that Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, the Commander of the Forces, moved out of the British position on the Ist of that month, for the purpose of attacking the left column of the enemy, having re quested that the Commodore, at the same time, would make a diversion in his 'favour by engaging the enemy's centre position, at Pagoda Point, with the Flotilla under his command. The result of these ar rangements was decidedly favourable ; the enemy's left column, consisting of about 14,000 men, being com pletely overthrown, their ordnance and commissariat captured, and a heavy loss of men. On the next day the blow was followed up by an attack upon Pagoda Point, the flotilla covering the advance of the Army along the shore. After a cannonading of some hours, the troops rushed to the assault, and carried the position in the most gallant style. The flotilla at the sa me time pushed up th e r i ver , an d capture d t h e w h o l e o f the enemy's bo a t s ( a b out 300), w i t h severa l gun s, 400 muskets, and a quantity of stores. The Commodore speaks in the handsomest terms of the gallantry and g oo d conduct of the Officers and men of the Royal Navy, and of the Honourable Com pany's Marine employed in the flotilla, and particu larly commends the zeal, judgment, and intrepidity of Captain CHADS of the Alligator ; and also of Capt. JoHN,F. DAWSO N o f th e Arachne, the latter of whom unfortunately fell, just as success had crowned their efforts. A Supplement to the London Gazette has been pub- I ished this morning, containing the Dispatches from Ma jor -General Sir Ancrt IBA LD CAMPBELL reporting at length the operations of the Forces on both banks of the Irawaddy , down to the 6th December, and we must refer our readers for the interesting details to the dis patches them se l ves , which are printed in another part of our p a p er . We most sincerely congratulate the country on the brilliant success which, upon this oc casion, crowned the exertions of our naval and mili tary forces against the Burmese ; and we sincerely hope that it may, in its consequences, lead to a termination of the arduous struggle in which we are. engaged with that people. Last night, in the House of Lords, the Earl of LI VERPOOL moved that the further consideration of the Bill to oblige the payment in gold of all notes issued by country Banks, at the places where they were is sued, should be postponed for three months, and his Lordship's motion having been agreed to, the Bill in effect has been l os t. Hi s Lordship, in the speech with which he_iorefaced his motion, made a communi cation to the House of much importance. He stated, that although he hoped the . Committee, to whom the question of the Banking system, as affecting Scotland and 'lreland had been referred, would be enabled to lay their report before the House previously to the termination of the present Session ; yet he could not look to the possibility of coining to any determination on those points before the close of it. Under these circumstances it would be, he conceived, better that the subject should be left open till next Session.— The intended measures for the immediate suppression of Small Notes in Scotland and Ireland are therefore abandoned, and, we have no doubt, that this determi nation will be hailed by both those Countries with great satisfaction. Our Readers will also observe by the Par liamentary Proceedings, that His MAJESTY has been pleased, of his 'Grace and Favour, to sanction the reversal of the Attainders of five other Scotch Titles. Lord LIVERPOOL last night brought in Bills for that purpose on behalf of the descendants of the Earls of CARNWATU, and AIRLIE, and the Lords OGILVIE, ELcno, and DUFFUS, and the Baroneicy of FINGAsx. Scotland, and indeed the Country at large, will duly appreciate this act of His MAJESTY'S gracious goodness, and we cannot avoid venturing to express a hope, that all other Lineal Representatives of Titles forfeited during times, which ought to be forgotten, who may be worthy of. such an act of Grace, may be restored to the honours of their Ancestors at no distant period. The length of the Debates in the House of Com mons, prevents our offering any remarks on the subjects which came before them last night. It will be observed that . Mr. GEORGE LAMB s motion for leave to bring in a Bill to entitle Prisoners to be heard by Counsel, on charges of Felony, was lost by a ma jority of 105 to 36. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that the Lords of the Committee of his Majesty's Privy Coun cil for Trade, being desirous to obtain the most cor rect information on every subject connected with the supply of Foreign_ Corn, appointed, in the early part of last summer, WILLIAM JACOB, Esq., the Inspec tor-General of Corn Returns, to visit and eNamine into the state of those countries, the produce of which find an outlet by the river Vistula into the Baltic, to ascertain the prices of the several descriptions of corn at the places of their growth, and the expences of con veying them to Dantzic and Elberg, and to report the result of his inquiries on these and the several other subjects to which his attention was particularly di rected, as bearing upon the question of the growth and importation of lioreign Corn. The instructions under which Mr. .I.iccon acted appear to have been drawn up with much perspicuity and judgment; and he has made a report of his pro ceedings and observations, which fay prove the assi duity and ability with which he has-executed the diffi cult duties" entrusted to him. This 'Report has been published by, order of the House of Commons ; but as It occupies 48 folio pages, exclusive of a voluminous appendix, we must, f or th e present, defer offering any remarks upon its details. Deeming it, however, to be full of matter of the highqAt interest to our agricultuna and commercial Readers, we shall, by degrees, publish in oUr columns the Report at full length, as other matter will allow of our devoting sufficient space to this purpose.

His Majesty has ordered all the honcituv etritable to his rank to be paid hint. The Austrian garrison in this capital has to-day celebrated, with every demonstration of joy, the happy recovery of his Ma jesty the Emperor of Austria. This morning eight battalions of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry, repaired to the river Chiaia. After a solemn mass, Te Dem was performed in the Church of Chiaia, during which the troops fired several vollies. The Duke , of Wurternburg, the Prince of Mecklenburg, Count Fequelmont, the Austrian Minister to our Court, Lieutenants-General Lederer and Koller, were pre sent at this ceremony, as also several Neopolitan Generals, .and a great many persons of distinction. , The Austrian army, as a testimony of its joy on this happy event, has placed in the hands of the Minister of War, the sum of 8,090 francs, to be distributed among the widows of Neapolitan officers in this capital. The Austrian garrison at Capica has also sent his Excellency 1,000 francs for the widows of Neapolitan officers settled in that place. The Austrian garrison of Palermo is leav ing Palermo: On the 20th of this month some companies had already quitted that city, and the little fort of the Mull was given up to his Majesty's troops. One battalion of the regiment of the Emperor Alexander will go hs' se4tto Venice, and a battalion of chasseurs to Trieste, the rest 'orthe troops will land at Naples, and thence proceed to the left bank of the Po. VIZIMA, APRIL 11. The Journals contain a circumstantial account of the construc tion of an iron rail way between Eudeveis and Manthausen, for which the Emperor, by a resolution of Sept. '7, 1824, granted im extensive privilege with great advantages for 50 years, to Mr. Anthony Gerstner, and which is now proceeding with great fwd.. vity. A company war formed last year, and the subscription opened on the 12th of March, amounted in a week to 800,000 florins. The materials having been collected, and all the neces sary preparations made, the work was begun on the '7th of August last, and that half of the road which presents the greatest difficul ties was chosen to commence with. According to the report made at the end of November, by commissioners sent for the pur pose to the spot, a length of road of 4,768 toises had already been made of wood and iron ; a distance of 1,300 toises of wood only, and workmen were employed on 110 toises more. The commis sioners declared the work to be performed in the best manner. It was found on trial, that a single horse drew without great ex ertions, a weight of 280 quintals, of Vienna, descending, and of 173 quintals, ascending, both in those parts of the road which are in a straight line, as in those which make great sinuosities. On an accurate estimate of the whole expense, founded on the cost of the part already done, it appears that the construction of this road, in a very solid manner, which has not yet been practised either in England or on the Continent, will not cost more than 11 or 12 hundred thousand florins, and that the probable revenue accruing from it will be at least 8 or 9 per cent. WEIMAR, Aram 7. A report is current that the question relative to the succession to the Duchy of Gotha and Altenburg, is on the point of being decided by an arrangement, by which the boundaries of the Duchies of Hildburghausen, Coburg, and Aleinengen are so ieguhited as to remove all confusion of the respective, territories.—Frankfort Papers, April 19.

It is stated that a Colombian document is in town with the financial state of the Republic, which is un favourable. The six millions of dollars, which was stated to be on board the Pyramus frigate, turns out to be only 240,000. The above account has caused the South American Securities to fall.—Consols just done at 79": City, two o'clock. ' The Consols market continues heavy. Consols, which were the previous half hour 79k, have again declined to 79i, owing to a report that an express had arrived from Lancaster with an account of an insurrection in that county, the populace are run ning about armed, and pulling down the factories. A deputation of the above county has gone up to Mr. PEEL. It is also stated that six mills have been burnt down in the vicinity of . Blackburn, that the military have been called out, and that some of the spinners have been shot.
